Diagnosis of venous thrombosis using 125 I-fibrinogen in Zambia
Fibronogen labelled with I125 iodine has been used as an epidemiological tool to study deep vein thrombosis (DVT) in Lusaka, Zambia. Twenty highly selected patients were studied; data was complete in 18. Six were positive. None had clinical evidence of DVT and pulmonary embolism. However the results, which should be interpreted with much caution, remain to be confirmed and their clinical significance determined.
